Thursday 7 November, 1pm-3pm in Exeter Cathedral’s Library & Archives’ Reading RoomTen Centuries of Record-keeping at Exeter Cathedral
Our Exploring the Archives event is an opportunity to explore the full scope of the Exeter Cathedral Archives – from the earliest Saxon charters written on parchment, all the way through to 21st century documents which only exist in digital form. Discover what records can be found in the collections today, how and why have they been preserved, and what are some of the challenges involved in caring for such a wide-ranging collection in the long term?
At this small group session you will gain an overview of the range of document types in the Exeter Cathedral Archives, and the history of its record-keeping practices. There will be plenty of opportunity for friendly discussion as well as reading and handling of original documents.
This event is taking place in celebration of World Digital Preservation Day.
Tickets: £20
